There are some things you might want to know. First, By default, Outlook 2003 blocks the automatic download of images from the Internet when users view a message either in the reading pane (Outlook 2003's new name for the preview pane) or in an individual message window. To help protect your privacy, Outlook prevents automatic download of some pictures in this message.

Most email readers have turned off picture blocking for all received messages by selecting Tools, Options, Security; clicking Change Automatic Download Settings; and selecting "Warn me before downloading content" when editing, forwarding, or replying to e-mail in the Automatic Picture Download Settings dialog box.

There are many reasons for not using HTML in e-mails, mostly because many email programs will not read HTML emails because of the high security risk.

Keeping this in mind, if you still desire to send your e-mails in HTML format, follow the below instructions:

1. Select "Tools" and then click on "Options."
2. Click on the "Mail Format" tab.
3. In the "Message Format" section, select "HTML" from the pull-down menu.
4. Click "OK."

Hope this helps!

Thanks,

Geoffrey
